Hello there,

Websense has always worked very well for us, with the configuration and management of groups being fairly simple. However, it's just been brought to our attention that Websense does not block websites that don't comply with our policy (such as weapons or pornography) that are in other languages.

Is there something I must configure in the administration console to block websites of another language (such as Spanish or Vietnamese), or is there something else that I must purchase for this functionality?

We are using Websense Enterprise v6.3

Thank you!

Hi,

Websense filter is based on the URLs of the websites. Please run TestlogServer against those websites, and then recategorize those permitted URLs into the same blocked category as weapons or pornography.

Please refer to the article on how to run TestlogServer:

URL's are unicode and Websense can filter any language

Please use  Websense TestLogServer to see if these urls are blocked or not .
